The Windows key? I use it constantly.

Windows + Left/Right to dock screens, Windows + E for a quick file explorer, Windows + X for settings and dev options, Windows + P to adjust your second monitor, I'm sure there's other hotkeys as well.

  • Win+X U U Shutdown
  • Win+L Lock
  • Win+V Clipboard history (might need to be enabled but * very useful)
  • Win+Tab Visual alt tab
  • Win+D Show desktop
  • Win+S Screen snipping tool (for partial screenshot)
  • Win and start typing for search
  • Win+1-9 switch between windows (works well if your apps are pinned to taskbar in specific order)

Use all of these and more

Win+X S U for sleep! I use it every night. My dog even knows when I press it from the pattern and immediately runs to the backdoor for his last potty of the night.
